Solved. Found the entry on my bank statement - it was July last year. Before that, I read another of your replies to a guy who needed a proof of purchase. I also took that advice and sent my IMEI number to Vodafone and hopefully they will send me a proper proof of purchase in a couple of days time.

Anyway, thank you yet again and all the best to you and yours for the festive season.

If I remember correctly, I had a few problems when I bought my new Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 and raised these on here. Today my phone went dead and I can’t find the receipt. If I can locate my old posts it would give me an idea as to whether I’m still covered by the 2 year guarantee.

Just an update which may or may not help Vodafone phone buyers who find themselves in the same situation I was in. It turned out that I didn’t need the proof of purchase after all. Went into my local Vodafone store and after the assistant keyed in my name and postcode, she was able to tell me that my phone would be repaired or replaced free of charge and it was. Repaired, that is. Thanks again for the help guys.
